Wagerworks Software Review

Wagerworks was launched in 2004 ans saw the first of the Las Vegas casinos coming online with the Hard Rock casino opening with their software. Unfortunately with the US banned from playing the casino soon closed leaving a great software company with no online casinos using it.

In 2005, IGT stepped in an aquired the Silicon Gaming Group and with the purchase came Wagerworks. Quickly several online casinos launched with the software the biggest name being Virgin Casino - a brand made famous by Sir Richard Branson. Virgin Casino is still one of the biggest Wagerworks sites.

Instead of going with a free download, Wagerworks casinos require no download to play. This measn you can be playing online within minutes of visiting the casino web sites.

The game range at Wagerworks casinos is growing slowly with one or two new releases each month. Some of the Vegas classics such as Cluedo, Monopoly, The Price is Right and Press Your Luck are already online as well as the highly popular Cleopatra series and Wolf Run.

The casinos also have two of the IGT Mega Jackpots with the Monopoly anmd Cluedo progressive slots. In a bit an odd twist the jackpots are paid out in installments just like at land based casinos. This is unheard of online with all of the other software companies paying out progressives in a single payment.

The jackpots do start at a big £1,500,000 so they are quite attractive you just have to remember that if you win you will be getting paid over the next 20 years which is our opinion is not the greatest way of getting a jackpot win.

All Wagerworks casinos are stricly regulated and all games are required to show the exact payout percentage. This means that you can actualy see and compare the pay out percentages for the individual slot games - something that you cannot do at a land-based casinos.

All Wagerworks casinos are well worth playing at. The strict licensing requirements mean that they are all top notch sites with fast payouts, great games, good customer support and of course big jackpots.
